Just curious when swapping an older 92-95 D series transmission for one from a newer 96-00 car what do you do about the clutch lines:

92-95:


96-00:


As you can see the newer tranny expects the line to go over the tranny to the firewall and has the bracket mount on the top of the tranny. The older goes to the side then around to the back expecting the bracket to be on the front...

I ask because I have a 93 Civic EX with a 97 EX tranny in it, but the bracket is not attached to anything while it hasn't caused any problems yet, I'd feel better if the bracket (part 21 in the first pic) was attached to something, I'd hate for the hard line from the slave to break or something...

 

you will just have to custom a bracket....either to the body or to the trans.... it shouldnt be that hard
